I'm 26 this month. Good to see all the younguns trying to better themselves. I feel better about the fate of the world already.

I'm 49, 50 in July and still have heaps of things I haven't done yet. I graduated with a degree in Education last year so can knock that off my list. Learnt that the more you know, the more you realise how little you know.
My kids are 26, 24, 21 & 11 and I feel like I've been parenting my entire adult life..oh s...!! I have. Is time for me now.

Why do you think the curve is so skewed?

Is it because as soon as people cross the magic age of 23 a large no of them, loose their interest in personal development?

And why do you think there are so few people in the 0-18 group. Its really very small, remembering the fact that the number of people in that age group is distributed over a 18 year interval.

After college people start getting full time jobs and starting families. People over 35 didn't grow up with the internet. In the 0-18 group, I wouldn't expect many people to start logging on until their early teens.

I am going to wax esoteric and comment that the body we occupy ages, the mind and spirit are ageless and timeless. As Marcus Aurelius once said " We are what our thoughts make us" or as a dear friend once said, "we are only as old as what is in us, thus all women should date younger men"

I am 51.

Maybe I should change my name to Uncle Benny2.

What do you think?

Smile Always young at heart

I am always young at heart, so age is just a number. It doesn't really mean much as long as we are happy, we enjoy each day, we are grateful with what we have ... Live a life that is abundance.

26 going on 27
in my mind i try not to change how i react to adult life.
i still jokes and behave like a college student but with a lot less sarcastic and less loud.

To me adult life is so full of border that binds me and boring too

Talking I have always been a leader in my age group

I am 63. Three times the age of some members. Lots of life experience and knowledge but inside my head doesn't feel much different than when I was 25. I feel I must establish credibility on who I am and what I know, related somewhat to experience, rather than age. So -------?

Interfire

PS: I am Canadian, live on the west coast of Norway, married a younger Norwegian woman of a mere 52 years, we have 6 young adults between us. My 2 live in Vancouver,

I'm 23. I think it's because people in their 20s and 30s are more likely to read blogs. When I was a teen I wasn't as interested in personal development, I wanted immediate results.

I usually don't participate in online polls, but I am very surprised at the poll results. I thought the 40+ age range would of had a higher poll results.

I think it's great to have people of all ages coming in to talk. Hopefully we can bridge the generation gap even closer and learn from different experiences.
